The catalog has 3 boardview files and 6 BIOS files for it, posted between 2018 and 2024 across 3 Telegram channels. Each download button opens the original Telegram post.

File names mention 2 board revisions (Rev 1.0 and Rev 2.0). Check the revision printed on your PCB before relying on a boardview or flashing a BIOS dump — How to Open .FZ Boardview Files explains why it matters.

BIOS notes: file names mention 1 MB and 4 MB chip sizes; some archives also hold EC/KBC firmware; versions with a cleaned ME region are included. Read and save the original chip contents before you write anything to it — Keeping the Windows Product Key (MSDM) When Reflashing a BIOS.
